Where Should You Post Your Job for an RTH Application? What “Fair and Open” Really Means

One of the key requirements of the RTH program is simple on paper but often misunderstood in practice:

Your hiring process must be fair, open, and accessible to all eligible candidates.

But what does that actually mean when it comes to where you post your job?

Let’s break it down.

Your Own Website Doesn’t Count

Posting the job only on your company website is not considered open or fair.  It limits visibility to people who already know your brand or happen to visit your site.

A Single University Website Doesn’t Count Either

Some companies think posting on one university job board is enough. It isn’t. A single academic platform does not demonstrate broad, unbiased access. 

So Where Should You Post?

To meet the “fair and open” requirement, you need to use public, widely accessible job platforms.

Examples include:

• JobsDB

• JIJIS

• LinkedIn Jobs

These platforms:

• Are open to all candidates

• Provide timestamped postings

• Offer transparent application records

• Demonstrate that you made the role publicly available

This is exactly the kind of evidence the RTH program expects.

A Final Note

I hope this helps you understand what “fair and open” really means under the RTH program. If you’re still unsure about where to post, how to document your process, or whether your hiring approach meets the program’s requirements, scheduling a consulting session can give you clarity and save you from costly mistakes later.
